The California budget deficit could go away easily if liberals removed some of its unnecessary environmental regulations. California holds deposits of many resources including oil and gas that could be leased to companies for over 50 billion dollars.
Unfortunately, the elite are blocking those efforts with shrieks of global warming and the fear of more people using cars and depending less of public transit, not to mention fears of oil spills and all this mumbo jumbo about animal rights. (Which take precedent over the rights of human beings every time, especially if they are not yet born.)
Rich liberals and others with shore property do not want to live next to oil rigs parked off the cost of Santa Barbara or Half moon Bay. They say, "Who cares about poor people who have to spend more and work harder to make ends meet?" The truth is that they can be harvested with land based rigs with slanted piping. That still hasn't satisfied the left which still considers the environment to have a higher precedent over the poor in California who pay some of the highest living costs in the nation.
The budget deficit is causing major problems in the state. Government workers face being fired, welfare checks and tax refunds are coming to a halt, add to this, Californians are making plans to borrow more money for a new 80 billion dollar transit system that is supposed to hook up every major city in the state. California faces becoming the state with the worst credit rating in the nation and its economic growth has decreased rapidly. This year, California, a state once considered the 3rd strongest economy in the world and one of the wealthiest, found it became the tenth worst economy, trailing behind Ohio, Vermont, Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey, Arkansas and Connecticut. It is only a few notches ahead of Rhode Island, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Kentucky. (Maine ranked 46th. Up from 48th but that will change for the worst soon.)
California can become the best state again. Simply by reducing taxes and business regulations, caring more about new jobs and revenues than bugs rats and spotted owls along with enforcing immigration laws, the state can pull itself out of its problems. But Liberals never listen. They want us to believe that they care but in reality do not. Instead they continue to follow the same failed policies that got them there to begin with. Its what Benjamin Franklin called the definition of insanity.
It won't be long now before California goes dry and starts to become as terrible as Maine, Michigan and Massachusetts. Yes, California is on its way to becoming a west coast version of Maine and Massachusetts.

Unnecesary?! You mean clean air and clean drinking water are not necessary? Would you want to live near a toxic waste dump?

You don't believe in global warming I take it. YOu must also think the earth is flat. As for rights of human beings you conservatives are doing a good job of violating those in Iraq and here.

Where did you hear that they were liberal? Since when do you care about the poor?
The truth is that they can be harvested with land based rigs with slanted piping. That still hasn't satisfied the left which still considers the environment to have a higher precedent over the poor in California who pay some of the highest living costs in the nation.
Those rigs would still produce pollution and promote the burning of greenhouse gas. Our gas prices are high because of rich conservative oil tycoons.
The budget deficit BTW is because of tax cuts and subsidies to rich people as well as a lack of better quality programs. Its economy is still fine. YOu shouldn't listen to Forbes magazine.
Globol warming has no scientific evidence. We have been having some of the coldest weather in a long time with record cold in Maine and Minnesota.
Yes, they are liberal and no those slant drills would not produce pollution the way rigs do.
The budget deficit is caused from spending too much on government employees and programs that do not work. Just like the problem in Maine. The economy is NOT fine there. Why do you think so many people are leaving California for Colorado, Arizona and other states? Maybe we should just listen to your big government?
Its spelled global warming and yes it is real. Those slant drills still produce pollution and emit loads of greenhouse gasses.
The budget crisis is being caused by outsourcing, tax cuts for the wealthy and other problems being caused by conservatives that still control much of the state. Reaganomics is killing the state not liberalism.
California is hardly liberal in my opinion. There are places like Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Francisco and Sacramento that are liberal but many places are extreme right wing like Fresno, Bakersfield and a few other places. State representitives also block liberal reforms to end homelessness, reduce housing costs, create new jobs and promote social justice. Calfornia certainly doesn't look liberal to me. As for the budget, there may be a few cuts that need to be made but what we need there is a tax hike. I am so glad a few Republicans got their head out their butts for one minute to realize how Neo-conservatism was ruining the state.
Now that we control things, things WILL GET BETTER! Then we will see just how wrong everyone here is. You are all wrong as you will see.
You DO control things! Thins ARE getting WORSE! MUCH WORSE!
You DO control things! Thins ARE getting WORSE! MUCH WORSE!
We have hardly started yet! The problems are from BUSH!
No they're from Clinton, Bush inherited his recesion from him.
No, we have already begun. It won't end until we impeach Obamination or he runs us to the ground.
It will only end when we finally take our heads out of our politically correct Asses and throw him out and put someone like Sarah Palin in his place. I know this, I will be voting for her this election.
Everything wrong with this country goes all the way back to Democrats like Clinton, Carter, FDR and Wilson. Along the way, we had our share of Democrat voting republicans like Bush Jr and the elder and maybe even Ike, Taft and TR. What we need to do is undo that quickly and hope to God we can rebuild before we are taken over by the EU and China.
